| Nov 18, 2016 at 20:41 | comment | added | Jim Stewart | This is going to take more analysis than I can do right now. There is actually a 9th receptacle on the circuit and it gave about the same results as 8. As a trial I redid receptacle 6 with fresh Penetrox and new wire twist nuts, but it made no difference in the voltage drop. However, the box contained only one cable so it is a terminus and the boxes are not connected in the order I had assumed. Presumably box 6 is fed by box 5 and I will do that next with AlumiConn. Oh and the original work did not provide enough conductor--extends maybe two inches. | |
